TARPON SPRINGS, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair Tarpon Springs

Seawall repair in Tarpon Springs needs the City Engineer’s approval before the building permit is issued (Sec. 59.00).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect owners on Spring Bayou, Whitcomb Bayou and the Anclote River with licensed marine contractors who take a wall through that review.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Other agencies come first

The city issues no building permit until Pinellas County Water and Navigation, the state and the Army Corps have approved where they have jurisdiction. The City Engineer may also ask for a wetland survey.

Why it matters

The city is raising its own wall

Tarpon Springs approved a $2.78 million project to rebuild the Craig Park seawall on Spring Bayou about 2 feet higher, to 5 feet or more above sea level (Tampa Bay Beacons, May 2026).

There is no private seawall height rule in city code. The Craig Park target is a useful reference point when you choose a cap height.

A free inspection tells you which one you are looking at.
